Manchester United have been held to a 1-all draw by Rostov, in the 1st leg of their Europa League last-16 tie in Russia.

United’s Armenian international found the back of the net for the visitors, 10 minutes before the interval, but Aleksandr Bukharov cancelled out Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s close range effort a few minutes after the restart.

The goal came, after an exquisite ball from Timofei Kalachev was met by Bukharov, who controlled it with his chest, before firing the ball past the goalie with just a single touch.

With the draw the Russian side gave themselves something to Work-With when they travel to Old Trafford next Thursday.
